I'm sure the guy behind this one is fine with letting aliens get the credit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bent_Pyramid

@warandpeas Is that... is that... is that the world's first tetrahedral building?

@warandpeas I always find it quiet descriptive for people, that it seams more plausible for them that literal aliens came from light years away did something and than just disappeared, than humans just could have solved problems by themselves like thousands of years prior to AI...

Come on man. That's what humans do. We solve problems and built stuff. Just because you don't know how to do something doesn't mean anyone before you couldn't done it either.

That one's fun because it's far enough that tourists don't go but close enough to get to easily from Cairo so it was always empty and the one we would take visitors to to avoid the lines

@warandpeas which is more believable? That aliens came to Earth, stacked up the most primitive material they could find, into initially poor but eventually adequate if functionally useless structures? And then removed all other signs of their presence?

Or that brown people built it?

@warandpeas Europeans and Americans would rather believe that the pyramids were built by aliens than admit that they were built by black people.

@warandpeas this is a real issue with non-white history that many people have spoken about.

@warandpeas but like, that's quite a good compliment actually (albeit being a scary and sad one) — when a modern, 4000-year older civilization cannot believe that you've built this
